"Does he still want to win the game?"

Li Linlin's enthusiasm has been questioned by fans and the media, after all, Li Linlin is now going well except for basketball, with money, a business empire, and a charming girlfriend.

Facing skepticism.

The reporter asked Li Linlin: "How focused are you on the game now?" Will you convince your teammates that you can play well in key moments? ”

Li Forest waved his hand and said: "Definitely, we know our goal, the game has to be played one game at a time, we will be ready for the playoffs, I don't need to prove my ability to anyone, I just have to pass my own level now, I have been adjusting my rhythm and position play, you will understand my difficulties today in the future." ”

Because the performance brought by No. 8 Branch is too shocking, the current fans and media generally underestimate Wei Shao and Harden, and overestimate the strength of Li Forest.

Westbrook and Harden's potential has always been there, and they are MVP-level talents in their own right, and it is only a matter of time before they explode.

Since Westbrook returned and Harden got through his rookie stage and began to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, the Thunder have not had enough points on the ball.

In the face of the competition of 3 MVP-level talented players, Li Linlin's A+ strength is also very difficult, and the decline of various statistics has become inevitable.

The tactical core of the single-handedness tactic cannot be given to four people at the same time, it doesn't matter if Harden has been playing on the bench, Li Linlin's current positioning is a little unclear, Brooks is under pressure and does not dare to put Li Linlin on the bench again, he can only put Li Linlin on the starter.

After Wei Shao recovered from injury, not only his strength has gone to the next level, but his temper has also gone to the next level, his desire to control the ball is stronger, and then the point guard controls the ball, plus he is in good shape now, the middle distance is very stable, and the shot is not so brainless, and Brooks is not easy to say.

After that, the team also has an absolute boss Durant, and it is difficult for him to ask Westbrook for the ball, and every time he gets the ball, it is even more impossible to pass, and he basically finishes the offense.

Li Linlin's current style of play is no longer only 3D, the number of shots has decreased, which makes people seem to have less desire, which has caused today's situation.

If at the beginning of the season, the Thunder's super-level performance once ranked second in the West, then the current Thunder is obviously back to a normal level.

In the past two months, Li Forest has not paid attention to his own statistics, he has been finding the right fit during the time when Dewey and Shuangshao were on the field at the same time, looking for his position on the field, and constantly digesting the experience and skills brought to him by No. 8 Section on the field.

What Li Forest needs to do off the field is to train non-stop every day and keep gaining weight to strengthen his core strength.

After Li Forest spoke out.

Brooks also stepped up to speak: "Lee is the player we have sacrificed the most in two months, and I have never questioned him. ”

Brooks knows very well that the number of shots made by Forest Lee is less than at the beginning of the season, and it is nearly half less than when he led the team alone.

The reporter also asked Wei Shao, who has been in the limelight recently: "Do you still believe that you and your teammates can find a solution to the problem?" ”

"We've figured out how to solve the problem, we're good, we're in the locker room and it doesn't matter what people outside the dressing room are saying," Westbrook said. We get along well as a team, as a unit, as brothers and we have a great relationship on and off the pitch. So, that's the most important thing, any voice from the outside that says we can't win, it doesn't matter, it doesn't change what we're doing. ”

.................

Heading into February, the Thunder had a 29-20 record and ranked eighth in the West, with the Trail Blazers in front of the Thunder and the 26-22 Rockets behind the Thunder.

At the top of the league is the 39-10 Cavaliers, with the Lakers topping the West with 37-11, followed by the Nuggets at 34-16.

So far, the Thunder have averaged 105 points per game and conceded as many as 100 points.

.................

A lot has happened in the league in the past two months.

In December, the most bizarre incident in the league's history occurred, when Arenas and his teammates confronted each other at gunpoint in the locker room. After the Wizards' gun door was exposed, the U.S. Bureau of Justice intervened in the investigation, and then more inside information was revealed, Arenas pulled out a gun and confronted each other because of an unpleasant dispute with Critanton's card betting, which also sparked a discussion about whether the league should ban gambling.

Li Forest didn't worry about Criston, but just rejoiced for Arenas, who really escaped the catastrophe.....

In addition, there are major news such as Maddy's season debut, the return of the answer to Philadelphia, Oden's official season reimbursement, and the acquisition of the Nets by Russia's richest man.

In January, Maddy officially broke with the Rockets, and Iverson voluntarily gave up after being selected as an All-Star starter.

For the gun-to-door incident, David Stern made the final decision and imposed a 50-game ban on Arenas, the protagonist of the gun-toting goal, and the season ended early. Not only did Arenas lose his advertising endorsements, but he also had a contract with the Wizards terminated.

The Thunder made a deal with the Cavaliers, and the Thunder sent a 2011 second-round pick to Earl Watson in exchange for Danny Green, who was about to be cut by the Cavaliers.

The Thunder's trade with the Cavaliers didn't get the rest of the league seriously, and everyone knew that the Thunder had plenty of guard talent, and it was understandable that they would want to deal with a few fringe players through a trade.

Li Forest immediately called Danny Green and welcomed Danny Green's arrival.

After nearly 50 games, the teams in the West have also learned about the current strength of this Thunder team.

The Thunder have also proven themselves to be a playoff-caliber team with their game by game.

In the West, except for the Lakers, the other 7 to 8 teams are actually about the same strength, and there is not much obvious advantage in the second place in the West and eighth in the West, so the Western Conference ranking does not say a lot.

The difficulties that the Thunder are now experiencing are also well known.

Lee looked sluggish in December and January. At one time, people thought that the Thunder had a big problem, but Westbrook's outburst made all the teams tremble, although Westbrook's effect was not as shocking as when Li Forest led the team alone, but he played an average of 22 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals per game, and the talent he showed was definitely a supergiant.

All the team coaches and general managers are envious of the Thunder's talent, and this time their talent really overflows.

The battle for the ball between ForestLee, Westbrook, and Durant has always been the focus of attention of the strong teams in the West, and all the playoff teams know very well that when they really solve the problem of ball distribution, they will be able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the West, and their strength will be higher than them.

When the reporter asked Kobe what he thought of Forest-Lee's sluggish form.

Kobe Bryant replied very seriously: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the ball, it's me who should be nervous now, when Li Forest doesn't do this one day, we will be in trouble!" ”

The only people who think Lee Forest's state is in a doldrums are always ignorant fans and reporters.

Players who can understand it and coaches of other teams are intensively studying how to deal with the Thunder.

On the side of the Thunder management at the center of the maelstrom, Brooks and Presti are also under a lot of pressure, and they have been working on how to solve the current problem.

Plesty even popped up with the idea of trading Harden.

But after peddling around the market, he found that Harden's value had dropped too much, and he was reluctant to give up.

After Li Forest answered the reporter, he didn't explain more, except for being at home every day, he was soaking in the training hall.
